Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein, wife of Dubai’s billionaire ruler.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, is hiding in London, British media reports say.
The sixth wife of Dubai’s billionaire ruler is in hiding in London as she prepares for a court battle with her husband, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, in a case that appears to be connected to the mysterious disappearance of Princess Latifa, Sheikh Mohammed’s daughter from another marriage, according to British media reports.
Princess Haya Bint al-Hussein, 45, fled Dubai for Europe last month after she became aware of details related to the forced return of Princess Latifa to the Middle Eastern state after she was intercepted by commandos last year on a US-flagged civilian yacht off the coast of India. Her case has been highlighted by USA Today.
Oxford University-educated Princess Haya, a glamorous figure who served on the International Olympic Committee and as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations’ World Food Programme, is thought to be hiding in a town house in central London over fears for her life, according to British broadcaster the BBC, citing Dubai royal family sources.
Other British media outlets have also reported on the claim.
